Job description

We are looking for a passionate and hands‑on Embedded Systems Engineer to join our engineering team in developing next‑generation drone and robotics technologies. In this role, you will be responsible for designing electronic hardware, developing embedded firmware, and supporting the complete product development lifecycle from concept to deployment. You will work closely with robotics, AI, and mechanical teams to build reliable embedded systems for autonomous platforms.

The ideal candidate should have a strong understanding of analog and digital electronics, experience in schematic capture and PCB design, and proficiency in embedded firmware development using C/C++. You should be comfortable working with microcontrollers such as STM32, ESP32, AVR, or similar platforms, and have experience interfacing sensors and peripherals using communication protocols including UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, ADC, PWM, and GPIO. Experience with hardware debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters is expected. Familiarity with RTOS, Git, and manufacturing considerations such as EMI/EMC and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) will be considered an advantage.

Responsibilities

• Design electronic schematics and multilayer PCBs.
• Select components and prepare Bill of Materials (BOM).
• Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers.
• Interface sensors and peripherals using UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, ADC, PWM, and GPIO.

• Test prototypes using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters.
• Collaborate with robotics and AI teams for hardware integration.
• Maintain technical documentation and revision control.

Required Skills

• PCB Design (KiCad, Altium Designer, Eagle, or equivalent)
• Embedded C/C++
• STM32, ESP32, AVR, PIC, or similar microcontrollers
• Analog & Digital Electronics
• Hardware Debugging
• Communication Protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN)
• Git

Preferred Skills

• FreeRTOS
• Python scripting
• EMI/EMC considerations
• Manufacturing and DFM knowledge
